CULTIVATOR ATTACHMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented March 2, 1909.

Application filed July 28, 1908. Serial No. M5378.

T 0 all whom it fmofg/ concern.'

Be it known that I, Bamm lnowumo, a citizen ol' the United States, residing at Morrison, in the county oi' Noble and State of Oklahoma, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Oultivator Attachments, of which the following is a specilication.

My invention is an improvement in. culti vator attachments, and consists in certain novel constructions and combinations ol parts hereinafter described and claimed.

Referring to the drawings forming a part hereof Figure l is a side View oil the improvement attached to a cultivator, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view ol the improvement.

The present embodiment ol' my invention comprises a lender blade A of usual cons n tion, provided at rear upper corner with a perforation B in which n ay eng. end of a chain or cord O, the other e attached to a suitable portion ol the culti-- vater D.

A hanger arm E is secured to the lender by bolts G, the arm being arranged diagonally lof the fender, and is 1pr 1 vided at its outer or forward end with an opening lI for receiving a pivot bolt I, connected with a lug l. secured tothe cultivator by bolts M.

A ruimer is adjustably secured to each fender blade, the runner comprising a slotted substantially vertical portion ll, substantially flat in cross section, and a rotin/ed substantially horizontal portion or runner proper S, extending rearwardly el the lender blade, and adapted to rest upon the ground to support the blade out of contact there- With.

rI'he slot 'I' oi' the portion resistors with openings in the blade, and the slot and the openings are traversed by bolts U, which are engaged by nuts V to secure the parts in place.

The operation of the improvement is as follows: The lender is supported b y the hanger am, and the runner is adjusted a sullicient distance belowr the edge oi' the blade to prevent the earth thrown up by the plows from covering the plants, yet peri -itting some earth to be thrown toward the plants at the roots thereof. The runners engagement with the ground prevents the l'endm' being removed by thc earth thrown up by the plow, as Would be the case were it suspended from above alone. The chain acts to taire the weight of the blade ir'om the runners, fr/hen turning or moving from place t) place. The provision oi the runner. also permits the lender to follow inequalities ol' the ground, so as to perfectly protect the it-lante, even when they occupy a lower plane tl an that traversed by the Wheels of the .itivator It will be understood that the 'lender may be attached. to the cultivator in any desired n'ianner, the manner shown being chosen merely lo convenience.
